Hello, August!

Woo-hoo! We've made it to August!Ahh, August. This particular one is looking quite exciting--mostly because there is a family vacation planned in a few weeks, and I've been looking forward to it all year.Of course, there are other things, too…

…not the least of which is the Haberdashery Blog Hop! The reveal is tomorrow, and I'm excited to show off what I made. Maybe stop by to see? :)

So, here's to August… May it be full of friends and memories, family and laughter. May everyone have a wonderful weekend--and of course a wonderful August!

About Me

I always create.

It is something that I’ve always done, even when I was a little girl making clothes for my dolls and creating elaborate landscapes in the backyard mud. Beads, fabric, paper, ink, language itself—I use every medium that I can get my hands on.

Why do I create? It’s my attempt to express the visions and stories that I have in my head. To me, everything has a story. The jewelry that I make has its place in the worlds about which I write. The skirts and scarves that I create have a history sewn in each seam (especially since I am notorious for not following patterns, but creating my own). To me, they are all outlets of my imagination. All are representations of my inner world.

And so, that is me. Thank you so much for stopping by! I am honored to have the opportunity to share my world with you.
